The Beyond the Lights star and his wife, who met while attending Pennsylvania State University, tied the knot in 2007 and are famously private with regards to their personal lives. The couple are already parents to three older children.

2016 looks to be a big year for Parker. In addition to welcoming his daughter, the 36-year-old filmmaker recently wrote, directed, produced and stared in the critically-acclaimed drama The Birth of a Nation, which was picked up by Fox Searchlight for a record-breaking $17.5 million earlier this year.

The film, which follows Nat Turner's famous slave rebellion in 1831, received rave reviews in its debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January, where it took home the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for Drama, as well as the Audience Award.

Given the film's themes of freedom, fighting against tyranny and righteousness -- as well as Parker's own progressive political activism -- it seems Justice is a very fitting name for the filmmaker's brand new bundle of joy.
